I'm hosting another radio listening night, this time at Atlas. We'll gather around their roaring fireplace, sample some tasty cocktails, and hear three radio stories, from classic to contemporary, and learn about the history and style of different kinds of storytelling.

Sign up for my newsletter! Every Saturday, I'll pick a theme and send over a curated shortlist of great podcast episodes, audio storytelling, & radio delights, and I'll explain why I think they're so great. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the surfeit of incredible podcasts around these days, this will be perfect. Do it. It'll be fun (and I won't clog your inbox).

Alexandra La Paglia collects antiques—specifically, she loves 19th century farm handtools. But she doesn't just leave them lying on the shelf. She takes them apart and rebuilds them into lamps. They're abstract, nostalgic pieces of art. But La Paglia says she never would have pursued her creative passion without the support of the Nantucket community.

For the Nantucket Historical Association’s recent exhibit, New Voices: Nantucket’s DiverseImmigrants, I interviewed first-generation immigrants living and working on Nantucket. Here’s part of my interview of my friend Csaba Cseko (he goes by Coco). He’s from Romania but lives and works on Nantucket for most of the year. Coco works at a flower shop, runs marathons, landscapes, and caters, and he’s probably the happiest and hardest worker I know.
